Curt, the G holds 65 gallons of premium ($$$$$$$$). Pulled it on Sat with 0.7 gallons left in it. Not bad for pulling 50 riders on the day, full ballast and a dozen people in the boat (coming out of the hole probably 75+ times). Thanks for all your help, I am def going to cruise out for the pleasant surf comp.

That's really good in my book! Sadly i took next to no photos, as i left my phone on my boat with Mr BombWake and Co while being on yours practically all day. And that's probably a good thing. As I got a bidet feeling a handful of times judging in the back. And drenched when i decided it was safer in the front

Wimps... you need a heater in that thing... ;-) You think it was cold here you should have been in California, it was so cold at Canyon Lake CA that I refused to do a practice run on a G21. Thats right I turned down a chance to ride the G21 before my competition run. With no sun I didn't want to sit in the shade in the wind wet waiting to dry off before my second run...

With my current 210 and anything heavier its a bit of a struggle at times at Canyon and Saguaro ramp 2 with my 2004 2WD Silverado 1500 where it was fine with a lighter boat. If you plan on going to Apache, Roosevelt, or Pleasant (at least the 10 lane and the Pleasant harbor marina) 4WD sounds like a damn good idea. I have only used the main ramp at Bartlett and I would prefer a 4WD.

A with a lighter boat, better tires, and perhaps a heavier short wheel base tow vehicle and you would be fine with a 2WD. I use a 4WD 3/4 ton Suburban with a mild lift and 33's to tow with most of the time and it works great and often I don't need 4WD but it comes in very handy.

Hey Curtis,
How have you been!!
You folks look like you are having way too much fun out there!!
I'm jealous, I have to run down to Florida just to find some above freezing temps
Good to see you are out there having a blast.

Yeah,
I have a home made swim platform based gate for each side now and they actually work pretty great.
The Bu is all put away for the winter as of last weekend and we are just waiting on the snow
I have actually been doing more surfing than waking this past summer as I have kind of hit a wall on wakeboarding due to my age and physical conditioning.
The surfing has turned out to be a fantastic physical therapy for my knees and back as well as the rest of my body, and it is a blast!
Good to talk to you.
Craig

Whenever anyone from the Az crew is ready to dust off the winter cob webs let me know... Just moved to Peoria and looking to join up for a set and meet some riders for the next few months until I can make the trip home to bring my boat out here. Intermediate/advanced rider, respectful and can help with any aspect of the day. Always got $ for gas and down to wake up early. You name the lake I'll make the drive.

New to AZ... from the Portland OR area... looking to get a pull sometime... intermediate/advanced rider... slalom and wake driver... have some experience instructing on a wake boat back in OR ... always have gas money... Let me know if there is anyway I can get out on the boat...

As suggested by Coon for those loyal to the AZV thread... I said hello a while back, hooked up a few rides with some nice folks. Went home over Easter and rescued the boat from storage in norcal to finish my move. We made the 1,000 mile journey without complications, now it's time to give her a bath!

looking to catch an early morning set saturday 4-25 or sunday 4-26. Have one for sure sunday so that would be the preference. Would like to get on the water shortly after the sun perks up and grab a set before the crowds drop in. don't necessarily need to rush off the water, but looking for a crew with riding in mind. If your interested hit me up. Thinking pleasant or bartlett... for those curious or concerned, I have a 2003 X2 and extra bags to dial the wake.

Looks like you scored some water Curt! Not sure if you were saying you went early or got lucky later in the day? Either way I'm envious, stormed scared off the crew Saturday night and I was cussing the calm after the storm Sunday morning. Glad someone was making good use of it! Ever need another body in the boat let know...

Thinking about a wakenwake sunday morning for pleasant if anyone wants to meet up for an early morning set? Plan to launch the boat between 6 and 6:30 and ride until the yahoos and yocals show up. If anyone is up for it let me know via text at 5309665462.

It's the concrete ramp a couple miles up from the marina ramp... possible I have the wrong name, but it's very improved, has a very small dock, and definitely not the dirt launch, though not too far away. It's slightly smaller than the main launch, but somewhat comparable. I don't remember if it was last year or two years ago that it was close for the year due to low water levels, but I'm not sure how low the water has to get before they close it. SRP's website says the water depth is 23 feet at Yellow Cliffs which suggests it is open unless Tonto Forest Service has shut it down to save money - one less set of trash cans and outhouses to empty.
